Yeah, the Tigers are up right now. Their clock doesn't expire until after 8pm Eastern, though.

I think weekends are gonna be slower, all it takes is a few people having busy weekends and 4 hours are blocked out.

I will definitely be lowering the pick time starting in round five. I think we'll just go to three hours, though.

Like Adam Jones should probably be going way the hell before Alex Avila but y'know.

There's a dude on the board that has already fallen far enough that I expect him to be the best value in the entire draft. e: In real baseball, I don't know or care about OOTP. e2: Miguel Sano is a Real Bad Draft Pick no offense Mornacale fucked around with this message at 06:55 on May 19, 2014 |

I've started 10-15 OOTP15 games and he's got ML ready talent in every single one. That's the game overrating him, not me. It would take a really pessimistic ratings distribution from IcePhoenix to make him not good. Harlock fucked around with this message at 13:46 on May 19, 2014 |

I haven't touched the ratings. Sano is good. Maybe a reach but probably not much of one.

Sometimes you have to throw your draft plan out the window and take the BPA.

I personally am a good Mariner fan and add up the WARs before I draft my players. Also, I like the Ortiz pick. I was considering him or Lowrie and decided to go with the premium position player and Lowrie has good seasons hampered by injury. No injuries should mean he's kinda valuable.

I still think Desmond is better than Lowrie but I think they're more or less identical in value in the game.

IcePhoenix posted:I still think Desmond is better than Lowrie but I think they're more or less identical in value in the game. Yeah, they are actually pretty similar players. I don't think the gap between them is all that large. That being said, I was very pleased to get Desmond here. A middle infield of Cano/Desmond is pretty great.

My plan is basically "at least don't suck at pitching", which is why I've spent 3/4 picks on starters. I'm the Marlins. I have nowhere to go but up.

For anyone with questions about the Jayson Heyward pick, the Cubs originally drafted him, before changing it like 30 minutes later to Napoli. So yes, you did see him drafted, but he wasn't actually drafted.

gently caress, I was going to go back and switch out Wilson for Heyward 5 minutes after i picked but I wasn't sure if that would be kosher.

As someone who is following along but not participating... it seems like once you post a pick it should be binding.

Most drafts I've been in, it's been ok to change as long as the next person hasn't picked which is why I swapped mine.

kensei posted:This is the way we usually do it. Yeah, I never really said that a pick was binding so I'm ok with switching as long as the next pick hasn't happened. I think that's part of the reason that not discussing players that haven't been drafted yet is a thing. If I said "lmao you picked Segura with Ian Desmond and Jed Lowrie on the board" and the next team hadn't picked yet then it's an easy swap. If I don't name names then they might just overlook the players still.

Harlock posted:Why is he a bad draft pick if you know nothing about OOTP? He's a bad pick because he hasn't played an inning above AA and his K rate there was 30%, the dude is not ready for MLB. The point of the thread is to draft the best baseball team, not to game OOTP's rating system.
